Waze announced today the launch of crash history alerts, designed to notify you if a road you’re approaching has a history of crashes.

The new feature is powered by proprietary AI technology, which analyzes historical crash data as well as key characteristics of a road, such as its typical traffic levels, the elevation, whether it’s a highway or a local road or if there’s a curve, among other information that deems the route crash-prone. The AI model also combines reports from the millions of users on Waze. According to the Google-owned navigation app, users report accidents every two seconds.
